Humanise your Brand<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Studies show that we rate brands through personal feelings, not information. Look beyond products or services. Tell your business story. What is your purpose and your vision? Why did you select this particular niche? Let your customers know the person behind the business. This strategy makes you more authentic.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When customers see humans in the spotlight instead of just the products, they slowly begin to trust your business. The best way you can highlight this is by creating a good about section in your online store.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Here&#8217;s an example from <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Terracotta by Sachii<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-19429 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.instamojo.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/IMG_20210901_163119.png\" alt=\"about section example\" width=\"800\" height=\"278\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.instamojo.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/IMG_20210901_163119.png 800w, https:\/\/www.instamojo.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/IMG_20210901_163119-300x104.png 300w, https:\/\/www.instamojo.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/IMG_20210901_163119-768x267.png 768w, https:\/\/www.instamojo.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/IMG_20210901_163119-380x132.png 380w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/p>\n<h3><strong>2. Be open to customer inquiries and feedback<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You SHOULD care about what people think about your business. Customers may reach out to you through social media or email to know more about your product or brand. They might need more details on shipping, return policy, size charts, etc. The key is to not keep them waiting for too long. Send a respectful and thoughtful reply. In short, provide top-notch customer service<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0Bill Gates once said, \u201cYour most unhappy customers are your greatest source of learning\u201d.\u00a0Always be open to customers\u2019 concerns. Act on feedback and improve your business based on customer insights.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.instamojo.com\/blog\/customer-delight-with-syrow-app-instamojo-app-store\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Syrow app on Instamojo app store<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> is a great example of customer support service. With this feature on your online store, you will be able to provide the best customer experience. You will gain powerful insights about your company that will help in more conversions.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><strong>3. Make product descriptions clear<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The more shoppers know what they are about to buy, the more likely they will buy. Be as specific as possible (example: instead of \u2018glass water bottle\u2019 use \u2018borosilicate glass water bottle\u2019). A good product description will be both compelling and honest.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Never exaggerate features. Provide detailed information about your product\u2014exact weight, colour, measurements, ingredients, and warranty details.\u00a0 When highlighting features, mention how it helps them. For example, this dress is made of 100% cotton, so it\u2019s perfect summer wear.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Take this example from <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/greentrees.myinstamojo.com\/product\/509277\/snake-plant-sansevieria-trifasciata\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">GreenTrees Store<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-19430 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.instamojo.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/IMG_20210901_163219.png\" alt=\"product description-plant\" width=\"427\" height=\"499\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.instamojo.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/IMG_20210901_163219.png 427w, https:\/\/www.instamojo.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/IMG_20210901_163219-257x300.png 257w, https:\/\/www.instamojo.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/IMG_20210901_163219-380x444.png 380w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 427px) 100vw, 427px\" \/><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you want customers to trust your online store, <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.instamojo.com\/blog\/how-to-write-product-description\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">learn the art of writing great product descriptions.<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n<h3><strong>4. Provide customers with a secure shopping experience<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Concern about eCommerce fraud is a top reason why people hesitate to shop from online stores. Make their payment secure and hassle-free. Always choose a trusted payment solution for your online store.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.instamojo.com\/payment-gateway\/?utm_source=imblog&amp;utm_medium=interlink&amp;utm_campaign=payment_gateway\">Payment gateways<\/a> like <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Instamojo<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> ensure safe checkout to protect you and your customer. Instamojo also ensures a safe return in case of payment failure.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Another way to make your customers feel more comfortable is to provide them with multiple payment options. Most people have a preferred method of payment. For example, recent surveys show that online shoppers prefer using Google Pay and Paytm over other options. Offer payment modes that customers trust, they\u2019ll trust your business too.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">At the front of their homepage, <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/leafyaffair.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">LeafyAffair<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> highlights a variety of checkout options such as Paytm, Google Pay, Bhim UPI and so on.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-19431 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.instamojo.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/IMG_20210901_163200.png\" alt=\"multiple online payment for online store\" width=\"883\" height=\"507\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.instamojo.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/IMG_20210901_163200.png 883w, https:\/\/www.instamojo.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/IMG_20210901_163200-300x172.png 300w, https:\/\/www.instamojo.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/IMG_20210901_163200-768x441.png 768w, https:\/\/www.instamojo.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/IMG_20210901_163200-380x218.png 380w, https:\/\/www.instamojo.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/IMG_20210901_163200-800x459.png 800w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 883px) 100vw, 883px\" \/><\/p>\n<h3><strong>5. Create content relevant to your audience\u00a0<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In this world of information overload, the only way to stand out from the noise is by creating good content.

Share positive testimonials and reviews<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It\u2019s a universal fact that people browse through reviews before they buy anything online. No matter what your product description claims, a quick scroll through the review section is what influences your buying decisions. Promote and project positive testimonials.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Always collect reviews from customers. If you have fewer reviews, reach out to customers for one through email. Send out a google form to customers, politely requesting them for a testimonial.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Bring innovative ways to present reviews like using video testimonials and customer quotes, showing customers using the product, combining text with visuals\u001f\u001f\u2014 all these add as social proof.
